• Le Haye and Jerry Jenkins’ Left Behind exposition

selling 65 million books is in error.

The “Left Behind” series follows Francisco Ribera

A Jesuit writer – departing from Protestant interpreters

5





• Historically, Protestants recognized the institution of

Papacy as this “Man of Sin.” Protestants were not

looking for a single man

6

Critically important “that man of sin”

was not an individual – but was the

entire system of Papacy

The Bible speaks of:

“Days” = 1 year

“Weeks” = 7 years

“Months”

“Times”

10

11

A “day for a year” has been understood

by various Bible expositors throughout

the age

— The problem is “What is a time?”

Lunar year 29.530589 x 12 = 354.367068 ~354 days

Solar year 365.242181 ~365 days

Average 359.804625 ~360 days

Revelation 11:2 But the court which is without the temple

leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles:

and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two

months.

13

Revelation 11:3 And I will give power unto my two

witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two

hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth.

Revelation 12:14 And to

the woman were given

two wings of a great

eagle, that she might fly

into the wilderness, into

her place, where she is

nourished for a time, and

times, and half a time,

from the face of the

serpent.

14

15

Revelation 13:4-5

And they worshipped the

dragon which gave power

unto the beast: and they

worshipped the beast,

saying, “Who is like unto the

beast? Who is able to make

war with him?”

And there was given unto

him a mouth speaking great

things and blasphemies; and

power was given unto him to

continue forty and two

months.

16

Revelation 11:2 42 months x 30 days = 1,260 days

Revelation 11:3 1,260 days

Revelation 12:14 time-1 + times-2 + ½-time

3½ times x 360 days = 1,260 days

Dan.7:26 “time, times and a dividing of time”. = 1,260 days

Revelation 13:5 42 months x 30 days = 1,260 days

1,260 days must be important

The Bible speaks of:

“Days”

“Weeks”

“Months = 30 days”

“Times = 360 days”

What are 1,260 days

showing that is so important?

25

Jezebel is a type – Revelation 2:20 Revelation names only 4 historical persons:

2 righteous:

Moses — David,

2 wicked:

Balaam — Jezebel

The noble name “Jezebel” means “Dwelling apart” by interpretation, “Chaste”

26

Jezebel worshipped Baal

Jezebel was a princess from Sidon —the economic power-house of ancient sea trade (Phoenicians)

She married king Ahab from the kingdom of Israel

BaalDelivering Cedars for

the Temple of Solomon27

Ahab encouraged Baal worship

Baal worship was so abominable that the

LORD sent the prophet Elijah to confront

Ahab

Elijah prophesied a catastrophic drought in

Israel as punishment. 1 Kings 17:1

...This drought is also a type Revelation 11:1-6

28

The 1,260 days directly link to the drought

announced by Elijah

29

Elijah condemns the

“mixed marriage” of

Ahab and Jezebel.

A picture of “church

and State”

1Kings 16:31 …he (Ahab) took to

wife Jezebel the daughter of

Ethbaal king of the Zidonians, and

went and served Baal, and

worshipped him.

When do we start counting

the 1,260 days?

Emperor Justinian (527-565 A.D.)

advanced the Papacy’s power

31Court of Emperor Justinian with (right) archbishop Maximian and (left) courtofficials and Praetorian Guards; Basilica di San Vitale a Ravenna, Italy.

General Belisarius

– Emperor Justinian’s “right hand” man

The events linked to the Pergamos

church make it reasonable to interpret

Pergamos (“Mixed Marriage”) as a

picture of the elevation of the church

by the state (539 A.D.) This unholy

union of church and state is

“fornication” (Revelation 2:14)

32

General Belisarius established the civil authority of the Pope (539 A.D.)Basilica di San Vitale a Ravenna

Old St. Peter’s Basilica Rome seat of

Pope Virgilius’s power (historian’s reconstruction)

Things did not go well for

Pope Virgilius. Further

bickering over Trinitarian

dogma at church councils

ended with him separating,

being anathematized and

then reconciling with

Constantinople.

Constantinople

– Hagia Sophia “Holy Wisdom” (without Islamic additions)

The “Mother of God” and her son being

presented with Both “Church” and “State”

Emperor Justinian was

a great legalist who

granted the church

important legal rights (539 A.D.)

These rights endured.

Novella 79 (March 539) on Civil Proceedings: Only bishops, can judge in legal proceedings against members of the church hierarchy. Civil authorities are excluded.

Novella 83 (May 539) on Church Proceedings: “…When an offence committed by an ecclesiastic requires sacerdotal castigation and fine, the bishop shall take cognizance of it without the assistance of the illustrious provincial judges, as We do not desire civil magistrates to hear cases of this kind under any circumstances...”

Translated by S. P. Scott, The Civil Law, XVII, Cincinnati (1932).35

Emperor Justinian was

a great legalist who

granted the church

important legal rights (539 A.D.)

These rights endured.

Novella 86 (April 539) Bishops as a court of appeals: “…private person must first apply to the illustrious Governor of the province, and ask him to examine the matter in dispute, in accordance with Our laws, and see that both parties obtain justice; but if, after having applied to the Governor, he should not obtain justice, We direct that he can then have recourse to his most holy bishop…”

Translated by S. P. Scott, The Civil Law, XVII, Cincinnati (1932).

36

Most importantly

Justinian named the

Pope as the head of the

catholic church (545 A.D.)

Novella 131 (March 545) “Concerning the Precedence of Patriarchs”

“We order that the Most Holy Pope of ancient Rome shall hold the first rank of all the Pontiffs, but the Most Blessed Archbishop of Constantinople, or New Rome, shall occupy the second place after the Holy Apostolic See of ancient Rome, which shall take precedence over all other sees.”

Translated by S. P. Scott, The Civil Law, XVII, Cincinnati (1932).

37

Elijah, Ahab and Jezebel as

types are well-defined[R.5741 Charles T. Russell]

“Elijah's prophecy was larger than on the

surface it appeared; for he and all of his doings were

a type on a small scale of greater things which came

afterwards.

Elijah was a type of the Church in the flesh … [this] is

confirmed to us by certain statements in the

Revelation. The matter is there covertly presented…”

38

“…a great religious system

being figuratively

described as Jezebel…”

39

40Charles VII of France 1422 A.D.

Emperor Fredrick 1155 A.D.

Charlemagne799 A.D.

“…and the worldly system to which this professed Church of Christ is united being represented by Ahab, the king of Israel.”

Let us review the 4 Revelation

texts on 1,260 days

41

42

Revelation 11:2 But the court which is without the temple

leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles:

and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two

months.

43

Revelation 11:3 And I will give power unto my two

witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two

hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth.

Revelation 12:14 And to

the woman were given

two wings of a great

eagle, that she might fly

into the wilderness, into

her place, where she is

nourished for a time, and

times, and half a time,

from the face of the

serpent.

44

Waldense church

– literally in the wilderness

However, the figurative

wilderness had to suffice

For most Christians

45

Revelation 13:4-5

And they worshipped the

dragon which gave power

unto the beast: and they

worshipped the beast,

saying, “Who is like unto the

beast? Who is able to make

war with him?”

And there was given unto

him a mouth speaking great

things and blasphemies; and

power was given unto him to

continue forty and two

months.

The year 539 A.D. marks the

beginning for reckoning the

“abomination which makes

desolate”

(Daniel 11:31; Matthew 24:15)

46

Why the Days of Daniel are important

– the days point to when history

changes

Use 539 A.D. as the base year and begin counting all the

“days” of Daniel using the day for a year formula.

The 1260, 1290, and 1335 days will end at differing

dates (1799 A.D.; 1829 A.D.; 1874 A.D.) each of unique

importance.

The 1335 days

57

Revelation 11:18 And the nations were angry, and thy wrath

is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be

judged, and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy

servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear

thy name, small and great; and shouldest destroy them

which destroy the earth.

Shattered Myths History amply corroborates the prophetic expectation of the

Bible Students.

After 40 years of opportunity (1874 - 1914) to “kiss the son”

– receive instruction (Psalm 2:12) the old “Ahab” civil order

ended with World War I.

58

World War II

— even more brutal, horrible and deadly

than the “Great War”

59

Hiroshima -80,000 people. By the end of

the year, injury and radiation brought total

casualties to 90,000–140,000

Dresden firebombing - 70,000 people.

Death camps –

6,000,000 Jews

“But be ye glad and rejoice for ever in that which I create: for,

behold, I create Jerusalem a rejoicing, and her people a joy.”

Isaiah 65:18

Mankind needs to heed

the words of Jesus

…they are powerless to bring blessings

“But I say unto you,

Love your enemies,

bless them that curse

you, do good to them

that hate you…”

Matthew 5:44

63

“For, behold, I create new heavens and a new

earth: and the former shall not be remembered,

nor come into mind.” Isaiah 65:17

“But in keeping with his promise, we are looking forward

to new heavens and a new earth, where righteousness is

at home.” 2 Peter 3:13

64

65

“And I saw a new heaven

and a new earth: for the

first heaven and the first

earth were passed away;

and there was no more

sea.

And I John saw the holy

city, new Jerusalem,

coming down from God out

of heaven…”

Revelation

21:1-2

66

“…prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.”

Revelation 21:1-2

67

“And God shall wipe away all

tears from their eyes; and there

shall be no more death, neither

sorrow, nor crying, neither shall

there be any more pain: for the

former things are passed away.

And he that sat upon the throne

said, Behold, I make all things

new. And he said unto me,

Write: for these words are true

and faithful.”
